YOU WILL LAUGH AGAIN

 

After she died…when he thought his world was coming to an end

he looked for solace and support…in the comfort of a friend.

 

He worried he was lost in a cloud of sorrow…

he wondered how…or where or when… 

he would discover a way out…

If he would ever laugh again.

 

His friend, who understood his pain…

who’d been down a similar path

who knew of his own sorrow and suffering  

felt his own anger…his own wrath…

 

Said…

 

“You never get over losing someone you love

there will always be a bit of sorrow in your heart 

and your mind too…

but one day you will ask yourself…

what would she want you to do?”

 

“Would she want you be engulfed in sorrow

for the remainder of your days…

or would she want you to exit your cloud of sadness

and somehow find a way.”

 

“To live, to laugh, to love again…

and even though you are unsure….

the sadness lifts when you decide…

to do all these things for her”

 

“And do not worry my friend.” he said

“Take if from someone who was once lost within that cloud…

I have no doubt you will laugh again…

you’ll just never laugh as loud.”
